(updated with pics)
I came across an interesting road bike a while back. The guy it belongs to is not a rider, but he realized it was something special when he found it and bought it to flip for some cash. He has not sold it yet.
Here are some shots of the actual bike:
Campy components for sure.
It may or may not fit me, and the asking price is a bit much for me, but I talked to him again today and decided to see if I could nail down a value or find someone else that might be interested in it.
Put a different seatpost on it today and I got to take it for a spin. Feels fast. (I couldn't do much because I am not used to the shifters and brake positions and no cleats for the pedals, but wow.)
A quick search turned up some info that this model had something to do with the Tour de France around 1999.

Since the current owner hasn't found a buyer, I thought maybe I'd get it out in front of the right crowd and maybe he and I could both get something off of it. I'm looking for a bike, and he and I could both use some cash.
The thing is in great shape and is super light and feels really fast. I only have a hybrid MTB myself so it is a completely different animal.
Any thoughts or inquiries appreciated.
I do NOT know the exact size, but the stand-over height is probably 30-31". My inseam is 30" and it sits snug on me...
I can dig up more details later.
